Tiánmì panda

Welcome to the delightful world of Tiánmì, your new cuddly stuffed toy companion! In Mandarin Chinese, Tián mì translates to "sweet," "quiet," or "peaceful," which perfectly captures the essence of this charming character. Tián mì spends most of its days lazily exploring serene forests, delighting in gentle moments and occasionally meeting up with friends for cozy adventures.

This adorable stuffed toy is a fun knitting pattern designed for all skill levels. Tián mì is primarily knit in the round, featuring some short rows and flat knitting techniques to bring this cuddly character to life. You will start by crafting each foot individually in the round before joining them together to form the base of the body, which is also created in the round. To enhance its unique charm, the face is designed using the intarsia technique, adding a delightful challenge to your knitting project. After knitting the face flat, you'll rejoin and continue knitting the top of the head in the round, seamlessly blending all the elements together.

For extra cuteness, the ears, tail, and arms are knit separately and later sewn onto the body for a finishing touch. This knitting pattern is perfect for anyone looking to create a soothing and cuddly companion that embodies the gentle spirit of Tián mì.

Yarn Requirements: You will need approximately 250 - 270 yards (229 - 247 m) of yarn in total, which typically includes one skein of each color, with each skein containing about 230 yards. 

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, this delightful Tián mì pattern will provide you with hours of creative joy. So grab your knitting needles, and let's embark on this peaceful and heartwarming knitting journey together!
